You missed two very informative and interesting workshops, Rick. I thought the moderator said that a video of each workshop and the slides from the presentations would be on the EPA website the day following the workshop, which should mean that both workshops are on the website already, but I don’t see them there (http://www.housatonicworkshops.org/videos.html). Technical difficulties maybe?

I couldn’t make it to the first two sessions.
I read on the EPA site that they would record the sessions this week.
There should be links to the recorded sessions. Now.
